Hoping to Join In

[cara]

Hello!

I wanted to quickly intro myself as I hope to join in here. I'm currently pregnant and will be 7 weeks tomorrow. I'm still very early on in my pregnancy and have had no reason to be paranoid so far, but I am.

I’ve had 3 CP’s in the past year (two of them were the previous months before I got KU) so I’m feeling cautious. This is the farthest I've made it since we started TFAS. We went in for testing around the year mark and were told we had unexplained infertility.

I'm having trouble feeling settled and as though this is too good to be true, so I hope it will help to hang around here a bit.

I'm so sorry for your previous losses.

Welcome and congrats on your new pregnancy.

Will you be getting an early ultrasound? Maybe that would help give you some peace of mind. Being PGAL can be so hard, especially in early pregnancy when we can't see or feel anything going on in our utes. Take it one day at a time. All the hugs! ❤

Of course you are welcome to join us, cara. I am so sorry for your losses. *hugs*

I second mattgirl's recommendation to ask for an early ultrasound. At 7w, they should be able to see something to give you some reassurance that everything is going okay.

Anxiety and paranoia are absolutely 100% normal for PGAL and PAIF. Let us catch you, try to remember the mantras, and hopefully we get through the next few months no worse for wear. <3

@mattegirl2004 and Rama - I have my first appointment next week and I’ll be 8 weeks. I think I may ask for one. Thanks for the suggestion!

Welcome! I hope your doctors are willing to offer you some monitoring to ease your mind. I know the time before that first u/s is extra stressful.
